Acetone (Propanone) is a highly effective and fast-evaporating solvent supplied by Alkemist KSA. As a trusted seller and dealer, we provide industrial-grade acetone, valued for its ability to dissolve a wide range of plastics, resins, and coatings. Its powerful solvency makes it an indispensable tool for cleaning, degreasing, and surface preparation in numerous industries.
DANGER: HIGHLY FLAMMABLE & IRRITANT. Acetone is extremely flammable; keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Vapors can cause drowsiness and dizziness. It can cause serious eye irritation. Always use in a well-ventilated area with proper personal protective equipment (PPE), including chemical-resistant gloves and safety goggles. Request the MSDS for full safety details.
No. While acetone is the primary ingredient in nail polish remover, this is a high-concentration industrial-grade product. It is not intended for cosmetic or personal care use and can be harsh on skin and nails.
Acetone is a polar aprotic solvent, meaning it can dissolve a wide variety of both polar and non-polar substances. This makes it highly effective at dissolving plastics, glues, paints, and oils that other solvents cannot.
No, extreme caution is required. Acetone will dissolve or damage many common plastics, including polystyrene, ABS, and polycarbonate. It is generally safe on polyethylene and polypropylene but should always be tested on a small, inconspicuous area first.
Acetone is a much stronger and more aggressive solvent than IPA. It is better for removing heavy grease, paint, and adhesives. IPA is less aggressive, making it safer for cleaning sensitive electronics and most plastics, while acetone is reserved for more heavy-duty tasks.
Acetone has a very high vapor pressure and a low boiling point (56°C or 133°F). This means its molecules can easily escape from the liquid phase into the air, leading to rapid evaporation, which is beneficial for cleaning applications where a quick, residue-free finish is desired.
